A modern day version of Apple’s 1984 ad. Except it’s for Motorola’s new tablet, the Xoom. Playing Apple against itself. Interesting.
As early as March 2011 you’ll start to see the new Starbucks logo on “promotional merchandise and paper goods”, but why the change? For starters they “plan to build a world-class consumer packaged goods organization.”
I hope you like the updated logo because you’re going to start seeing it in more places than just Starbucks: “Our next phase of growth will come from extending the Starbucks Experience to our customers beyond the third place to every part of their day, through multiple brands and channels.”

The thought of a “random message” was impersonal; until this gem came up.
What’s great about Hootsuite’s implementation is that it waits for you. It waits for you to be comfortable with the app. Then it asks you for the recommendation.

“I want to see 1,000 followers.” A client once told me in passing. I smiled and wondered why. I think what he meant was that he wanted to see us influential in the online community. But Twitter is just a tool and a URL, community comes from elsewhere.
Twitter is just 1) a set of tools to post and search for messages and 2) a URL – Twitter.com – where people decide to congregate.
Community is created through human interaction and engagement. And it’s your ability to engage with people that will help you build a community. Not Twitter.
Don’t make Twitter your goal. Make building a community your goal. Then you can say those 1,000 followers are worth something.
Summary: It isn’t the number of followers you have that’s important, it’s the community you build.
Yup.
